Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Why are there two guard covers in this pack? A: Many MTD deck configurations use a belt guard on multiple spindle locations, so the 2-pack provides replacements for both sides or a spare for the opposite side. This ensures you have the correct cover available without needing to order a second time.

Q: Will this guard cover fit my exact MTD model? A: It is designed to fit MTD 42” and 46” deck tractors that use the 783-06424A guard, but due to variations across production years, verifying your deck’s part number is recommended. Checking the existing guard’s shape and bolt spacing against this cover ensures a proper fit.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
